There’s a good chance you haven’t the slightest clue on what “Zaxxon” was, or how it changed video games in the 80’s. Perhaps I’m showing my age a bit, but I remember going to my grandma’s house and there was 2 games we’d play on her dusty old ColecoVision — Donkey Kong and Zaxxon. Developed by Sega back in ’82, Zaxxon was one of the world’s first isometric space shooters and guess what? It looks like it’s about to get a long overdue sequel/remake for your Android device.

Sega uploaded a very brief teaser video for the upcoming title and while it doesn’t give us a chance to view actual gameplay, it does give us a quick peak at the games visuals which look pretty impressive. But then again, maybe I’m just looking though nostalgia goggles. What do y’all think?

Showing my age, but…Zaxxon was one of my favorite arcade games back in the day! This and Tron. Yes, the original Tron arcade game.

Right there with you on Zaxxon & Tron… with a dash of “Dragon’s Lair” thrown in.
